where do sloths live?

Question

i need all the information possible, and as many places a possible including climate

Answer 1

well.. according to what I've studied there are two types..

three toed sloth: limited to equatorial habitats of constant high temperature climates and almost daily rainfall, Bradypus variegatus’s low and unstable body temperature varies depending on the temperature of its surroundings. Bradypus variegatus spends most of its life in the middle layers and the tops of trees where it hangs upside down from branches or sits in the forks between tree limbs. The trees within its habitat must be close enough together for the sloth to proceed around the forest canopy when needed. The crowns of the trees in tropical forests are often thick with interlocking lianas and other vegetation and provide strong footholds for sloth travel, sleeping, mating and eating. Bradypus variegatus prefers trees with large crowns and selects them based on the amount of time the crowns are exposed to sun. This behavior is related to its variable body temperature in which the genus Bradypus thermoregulates its body by moving into the trees when its hot and increasing its exposure to the sun when its cold. It favors lower elevation humid forest conditions and is strictly arboreal. On occasion, Bradypus variegatus does leave the trees and crawls along the forest floor or swims in the flooded forest to find other trees for food.

two-toed sloth: The Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth, Choloepus hoffmanni, is a species of sloth from Central and South America. It is a solitary nocturnal and arboreal animal, found in mature and secondary rainforests and deciduous forests. Found in the rainforest canopy in Central and South America, from Nicaragua south to Bolivia, and from Peru east to Brazil.Tropical forests. They are highly arboreal, going to the ground only about once a week to urinate and defecate which they do in communal areas. The only other time they will go to the ground is to relocate to another tree not reachable from above ground.
